8 COMOSER NOTES YOU ARE MY COMANION As a meditation on salm 23 it is my hoe that the music exresses the serenity confidence oy of this beautiful rayer The recurring melodic theme often alternates beteen Sorano I II it is imortant that Sorano I does not overoer the melody It may be advisable to shift a fe first soranos to the Sorano II in these assages SAMLE As a choral anthem this iece is suitable any time of the year It is esecially aroriate for unerals Ordinations Religious rofessions This setting is not intended for use as a resonsorial salm because the arahrased text differs significantly from that of the Lectionary the refrain is too lengthy BE STILL AND KNOW This simle contemlative ostinato can be sung in arts or in unison resembling lainchant Reeat as desired varying dynamics The creator of this meditation on verse 11 of salm 6 is unknon although I have heard of to ossible sources: the Quakers or St rancis of Assisi In either case the call to quiet rayer is consistent ith their siritual ractice The text alone reads: Be still kno that I am God Be still kno that I am Be still kno Be still Be Barbara Bridge
